SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced financial results for the Company's fiscal fourth quarter and full-year 2008. For the fourth quarter ending September 30, 2008, on an adjusted basis (reflective of a normalized tax rate and excluding certain litigation reserves, restructuring charges and purchase amortization), net income for the quarter was $448 million, or $0.58 per diluted Class A common share. Adjusted diluted Class A common shares outstanding were 776 million. The Company's adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per Class A common share are non-GAAP financial measures that are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables.
On a GAAP basis, the Company reported a net loss of $356 million, or $(0.45) per diluted Class A common share, inclusive of a FAS 5 litigation reserve of approximately $1.1 billion related to the previously announced settlement of the Discover litigation. Since this litigation is covered by the Company's Retrospective Responsibility Plan, responsibility for the settlement is allocated to the Company's U.S. financial institution holders via an escrow account and other mechanisms previously established under the Plan.
Net operating revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2008 was $1.7 billion, driven by strong contributions from service fees, data processing fees, and international transaction fees. Payments volume and processed transactions remained strong across all regions worldwide.
"Visa capped an historic fiscal 2008 with a strong fourth quarter. Despite increasing economic turbulence worldwide, Visa posted strong revenue and earnings gains while diligently taking steps to capitalize on the continuing secular trend toward electronic payments," said Joe Saunders. "Although no company is immune to the challenges of this economic environment, we believe Visa's network business model, the continuing secular shift to electronic payments and diversity across both products and geographies offer a degree of resilience to our organization."
"Visa's evolution from our credit roots into a multi-product payments company continues to benefit our business. Debit - which now represents more than 53% of Visa's payments transactions worldwide - is particularly important to our results in the current environment, as that product is rooted in 'everyday spend' behavior which has proven to be less susceptible to economic fluctuations and continues to grow."
"We remain intensely focused on helping our financial institution and retail clients through this difficult period, providing them with products and services that build deeper cardholder relationships and boost their own bottom line," added Saunders.
Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2008 Financial Highlights:
Visa Inc.'s operational performance highlights for the fiscal fourth quarter, as measured by June 30, 2008 statistical data, include:
-- Payments volume grew 15% over the prior year to $699 billion;
-- Total volume, inclusive of cash volume was $1.1 trillion, an increase of 19% over the prior year;
-- Total cards carrying the Visa brands rose over 12% worldwide over the prior year to 1.6 billion; and
-- Total payment transactions increased by 14% over the prior year to 11.5 billion.
Total processed transactions, which represent fiscal fourth quarter transactions processed by VisaNet, were 9.6 billion, an 11% increase over the prior year.
For the fiscal fourth quarter 2008, service fees were $788 million, up 8% over the prior year on a pro forma basis, and are recognized based on payment volume in the prior quarter. All other fee categories are recognized based on current quarter activity and are compared on a pro forma basis. Data processing fees rose 18% over the prior year on a pro forma basis to $548 million. International transaction fees, which are driven by cross-border payments volume, grew 45% over the prior year on a pro forma basis to $512 million, as we continued to benefit from higher multi-currency payments volumes across all regions during the fiscal fourth quarter. Other revenue, which includes the Visa Europe licensing fee, was $160 million, up 20% over the prior year on a pro forma basis. Volume and support incentives, which are a contra revenue item, were $299 million.
Adjusted operating expenses were $943 million for the fiscal fourth quarter, a 20% decrease from the prior year on a pro forma basis. Operating expenses on a GAAP basis were $2.2 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter, a 44% decrease from the prior year on a pro forma basis.
Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and available-for-sale investment securities were $7.5 billion at September 30, 2008. This amount does not include short-term investments of approximately $953 million which are classified as short-term other assets.
Fiscal Year 2008 Results:
On an adjusted basis (reflective of a normalized tax rate and excluding litigation reserves, restructuring charges and purchase amortization), net income for the full-year ended September 30, 2008, was $1.7 billion, or $2.25 per diluted Class A common share. Adjusted diluted Class A common shares outstanding were 776 million.
Reported GAAP net income of $804 million, or $0.96 per diluted Class A common share, inclusive of a FAS 5 litigation reserve of $1.4 billion, which is covered under the Company's Retrospective Responsibility Plan.
Net operating revenue for the full-year was $6.3 billion, an increase of 21% over the prior year on a pro forma basis. Currency fluctuations contributed 2% of the increase in net operating revenues for the full-year.
Adjusted operating expenses were $3.4 billion for the full-year, a 4% decrease from the prior year on a pro forma basis. Operating expenses on a GAAP basis were $5.0 billion for the full-year, a 20% decrease from the prior year on a pro forma basis.
Visa's GAAP effective tax rate was 40% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008.
Management believes the presentation of adjusted operating income, adjusted operating expenses and adjusted net income provides a clearer understanding of the one-time items related to the Company's reorganization and initial public offering. These measures also adjust for expenses related to covered litigation that will be funded by the litigation escrow account through the Retrospective Responsibility Plan and a $19 million and $51 million after-tax charge taken in the fourth quarter and full-year 2008 related to non-recurring legacy litigation items that were not funded by the litigation escrow account. These items have a significant impact on our financial results but are either non-recurring or have no operating cash impact. Recognizing that we have a very complex equity structure incorporating multiple classes and series of common stock, the Company has also presented adjusted diluted Class A earnings per share calculated based on adjusted net income and the adjusted diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the periods presented.
Subsequent Events:
On October 10, 2008, as planned, the Company completed the redemption of 79,748,857 shares of its Class C (Series II) Common Stock and 35,263,585 shares of its Class C (Series III) Common Stock held by Visa Europe Limited. The net cash amount that the Company paid to Visa Europe Limited in connection with the redemption of all its outstanding shares of Class C (Series II) Common Stock and 35,263,585 shares of its Class C (Series III) Common Stock was $2.65 billion. As planned, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from its March 2008 initial public offering to fund these redemptions. In addition, immediately after the completion of the partial redemption of the Class C (Series III) Common Stock, each outstanding share of Class C (Series III) Common Stock and Class C (Series IV) Common Stock automatically and without further action converted into one share of Class C (Series I) Common Stock.
Financial Outlook:
Visa Inc. clarifies its financial outlook for the following metrics through 2010 with the caveat that revenue growth may be somewhat challenged in 2010 given the current economic environment in the U.S. and around the globe:
-- Annual net revenue growth at the lower end of the 11% to 15% range;
-- Annual adjusted operating margin in the mid-to-high 40% range;
-- Annual adjusted diluted Class A common earnings per share growth of 20% or greater;
-- Annual free cash flow in excess of $1 billion; and
-- Capital expenditures in the range of $300 to $350 million in 2009 and representing 3 to 4% of gross revenues in 2010.
This outlook reflects an assumed 40% percent GAAP tax rate for fiscal year 2009. The Company's intent is to reduce this rate to a level around 35-36% over the next four years.

(1) Litigation expense primarily related to covered litigation. Settlements of, or judgments in, covered litigation will be paid from the litigation escrow account. There is $30 million and $80 million of non-recurring legacy litigation expense for the quarter and year ended September 30, 2008, respectively, that management believes is not indicative of Visa's future anticipated expenses. This expense is not covered under the Retrospective Responsibility Plan and will not be paid from the litigation escrow account.
(2) Restructuring costs, primarily severance in fiscal 2008, associated with workforce consolidation and elimination of overlapping functions.
(3) Non-cash amortization and depreciation of the incremental basis in technology and building assets acquired in the reorganization.
(4) Non-cash interest expense recorded on future payments to be made under the settlement agreement with American Express. These payments will be paid from the litigation escrow account.
(5) Investment income earned during the period on all IPO proceeds held, including amounts held in the litigation escrow and amounts the Company intends to use in October 2008 to redeem all class C (series II) common stock and a portion of the class C (series III) common stock held by Visa Europe.
(6) Other expense (income) recorded in the periods presented as a result of changes in the Company's estimated liability under the Framework Agreement, which governs its relationship with Visa Europe. The changes were primarily due to movement in the LIBOR rates in the periods presented. This liability will not continue after the October 2008 redemptions described above.
(7) Reflects a normalized tax rate of 41%.

(1) For the twelve months ended September 30, 2008, for GAAP purposes, the number of class A common shares outstanding is weighted to reflect the issuance of 446,600,000 shares at the IPO date of March 19, 2008. In the calculation of the adjusted weighted average shares outstanding, these shares are assumed to have been issued at October 1, 2007 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008.
(2) For the twelve months ended September 30, 2008, for GAAP purposes, the number of class B common shares outstanding is weighted to reflect the redemption of 154,738,487 shares on March 28, 2008 and the reduction of the conversion ratio applicable to remaining shares outstanding to 0.71 to 1. In the calculation of the adjusted weighted average shares outstanding, these shares are weighted to assume that the redemption and reduction in conversion ratio had occurred at October 1, 2007 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008.
(3) For the twelve months ended September 30, 2008, for GAAP purposes, the number of class C (series I, II, III & IV) common shares is weighted to reflect the redemption of 159,657,751 shares of class C (series I) common stock on March 28, 2008, and the reclassification of all shares of class C (series II) common stock to temporary equity and 35,263,585 shares of class C (series III) common stock to liabilities on the IPO date of March 19, 2008. Upon reclassification of the class C (series II) and class C (series III) common stock these shares are no longer convertible into shares of class A common stock. In the calculation of adjusted weighted average shares outstanding, these shares are weighted to assume that the redemption and reclassifications occurred at October 1, 2007 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008.
(4) For GAAP purposes, the number of class A common shares outstanding is weighted to reflect the assumed issuance of class A common stock underlying stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units to employees and directors at the IPO date of March 19, 2008 and subsequent periods, by applying the treasury stock method. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2008, in the calculation of adjusted weighted shares outstanding, these shares are assumed to have been issued at October 1, 2007 and were outstanding for the entire period. The share adjustments also reflect the estimated number of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units estimated to be outstanding in October 2008 after the redemption of the class C (series II and series III) common shares held by Visa Europe.
Class A Common Stock Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
-- Management believes the presentation of adjusted operating income and adjusted net income provides a clearer understanding of the one-time items related to the Company's reorganization, initial public offering and other non-recurring events. These measures also adjust for expenses related to covered litigation that will be funded by the litigation escrow account and a $19 million after-tax charge in the fourth quarter and a $51 million after-tax charge for the year ended September 30, 2008 related to non-recurring legacy litigation items that will not be funded by the litigation escrow account. These items have a significant impact on our financial results but are either non-recurring or have no operating cash impact.
-- Recognizing that we have a very complex equity structure incorporating multiple classes and series of common stock, the Company has also presented adjusted diluted class A earnings per share calculated below based on adjusted net income and the adjusted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the periods presented. This non-GAAP financial measure has been presented to illustrate our per share results reflecting our capital structure after the redemption of all class C (series II) common stock and a portion of class C (series III) common stock, which the Company redeemed in October 2008. The class C (series II) common stock is classified as temporary equity and the redeemable class C (series III) common stock is classified as a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2008. Management believes this non-GAAP presentation provides the reader with a clearer understanding of our per share results by excluding these shares to be redeemed and allocating adjusted net income only to permanent equity.

(1) Adjustment represents the net cash impact of all litigation matters, both covered and uncovered, during the fiscal year. This adjustment reflects (i) the cash benefit received resulting from tax deductions taken on actual payments made for both covered and uncovered matters; (ii) the use of cash to make payments for uncovered litigation matters, which will not be funded by the litigation escrow account; (iii) the add back of accretion, net of tax, recorded on all settled claims, both covered and uncovered; and (iv) the add back of litigation provision, net of tax, recorded for covered matters, which will be funded by the litigation escrow account, during the fiscal year.

Footnote
The preceding tables present Payments Volume, Cash Volume, Total Volume, the number of payments transactions, cash transactions, accounts and cards for cards carrying the Visa, Visa Electron and Interlink brands. Card counts include PLUS proprietary cards. Nominal and constant dollar growth rates over prior periods are provided for volume-based data.
Payments Volume represents the aggregate dollar amount of purchases made with cards carrying the Visa, Visa Electron and Interlink brands for the relevant period; and Cash Volume represents the aggregate dollar amount of cash disbursements obtained with these cards for the relevant period and includes the impact of balance transfers and convenience checks; but excludes proprietary PLUS volume. Total Volume represents Payments Volume plus Cash Volume.
Visa payment products are comprised of credit and debit programs, and data relating to each program is included in the tables. Debit programs include Visa's signature based and Interlink (PIN) debit programs.
The data presented is reported quarterly by Visa's members on their operating certificates and is subject to verification by Visa. On occasion, members may update previously submitted information.
Visa's CEMEA region is comprised of countries in Central Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Several European Union countries in Central Europe, Israel and Turkey are not included in CEMEA. LAC is comprised of countries in Central and South America and the Caribbean. Rest of World includes Asia Pacific, Canada, CEMEA and LAC.
Information denominated in U.S. dollars is calculated by applying an established U.S. dollar/local currency exchange rate for each local currency in which Visa Inc. volumes are reported ("Nominal USD"). These exchange rates are calculated on a quarterly basis using the established exchange rate for each quarter. To eliminate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar in measuring performance, Visa Inc. also reports period-over-period growth in Total Volume, Payments Volume and Cash Volume on the basis of local currency information ("Constant USD"). This presentation represents Visa's historical methodology which may be subject to review and refinement.
